Yes, agree that stuff is for small nail holes and such. But that tub of Drydex you have is way too too old. When it’s new it’s not gummy like that, goes on pretty smooth. Maybe you can mix it with some water first like drywall compound..?
heed guys advice! there are other drywall channels but if you only find guys channel he is all you need. he will show you the correct way to do it and do it right! i wish i found him years ago!
Perfect example. I have to go behind folks sometimes, and finish what others have started. I have even sent folks to your videos. It’s all about improving!👏🏻
It does seem a bit dried out, you can add a splash of water to get it to the consistency you prefer. NGL I use that for hack patching lol, you can do a couple layers and it thickens/hardens well enough for small hole repair. I wouldn't go beyond 6inches... lol.
Drywall is like dentistry. Most of us have some experience at both. Most of us would do best letting the Pros handle it for the best outcome. But if you must do your own drywall, listen very carefully to the Kilted Guy.
Once that sets up a little you could probably chew on it all day That top view is very enlightening, seeing the bending of the blade. Why not try a slow motion, with a voice over telling us what you are feeling, with your hand and arm, not the other kind of feeling. Your right about learning from the pros, you and one other YTuber are the Drywall kings
That mistake is EXACTLY what I used. I had the proper knives, but that product sucks ! In my case I tried to thin it out with water, but in the end I ended up sanding it all down and using 45 min mud.
That pink stuff sucks. It’s not like you can’t look at most any joint compound and see that it’s still too wet to hit it again if needed. Hell, you’ll learn real fast if you run a coat on top of damp mud when your knife pulls chunks all over your work.
Oh yes, you are the best and we are blessed to found you!!! We are about to start a big drywall project, actually a whole house me and my wife started a decade ago. Watching your videos we feel confident we will succeed. Money bone dry now but I want to contribute as soon as start flowing back. Keep up the LOVE (SOMETIMES WE WATCH YOU JUST TO GET RELAX, REALLY!!!)
One of the guy's where I work recently mudded some drywall and my boss sent me there one day and sent me there and said you shouldn't be there more than an hr then head over to another job, well that didn't work out, I was there sanding for hrs and I also had to clean up and prime and paint two coats, it was a remodel so a wall and a bathroom, ceiling and walls, finally my boss called and asked me how the drywall went and how the other job's going, of course I told him I was still at the first job and he asked me what the problem is, I told him there was ridiculous amounts of sanding and asked him when did we start mudding with salad Tong's and he was not happy, the person who mudded it for one hates doing it, and for two doesn't know what they're doing. Absolutely ridiculous day.
Another huge mistake is I've seen guy's put spackle on top of all purpose joint compound and even worse light topping compound, the spackle doesn't sand away but the compound does and you end up with a huge repair once again😂
Love your videos! I’m a painter and use spackle only for small things such as nail holes and other minor defects. I do decent work with drywall, but I am a perfectionist and take pride in my work. I still have much to learn and I appreciate you taking your time to help others perfect the craft.
@@ThatKiltedGuyDIY hey sir! I hear your struggling with ur health and I would say check out dr eric Bergs RU-vid channel, lot interesting stuff about health, alot of us live on refined foods making us end up with a fatty liver causing multiple health issues
Thank you so much for sharing your skill. Textured my mobile home. Looks great. You could have finished in 1/4 of the time of course. I enjoyed doing the artsy part of putting on the texture. Thanks again!
That's what I do with my drywall knife's, I put a screw in my knife handles to show what side is concaved so I'm not leaving huge missed spots and huge tool marks. Thank you.
@@ThatKiltedGuyDIY I have been feeding homeless cats and as a result I have LOTS of cats hanging around. I built a cat house with a raised foundation to keep them dry when it rains, insulated floor and walls and skylights. Electric power with small heating pads on times for warmth at night. I added a shop light controlled with a motion sensor. This cat shack is 120 sq feet x 7 high feet inside. The cat population stabilized at ~ 12 cats. I did not use drywall since it is damp outside (outside building), but I did wrap it with house wrap sheets, used OSB and put it two cat doors and a dutch door ( for the BIG cats). One of the cats must weigh 30 pounds! Big kitty.
Thanks so much I was about to try to fix a big area with that pink stuff and I worried it was too thick. I have a wall that's bloated plaster that's going to get patched with a bit of drywall and mesh tape and mud. I also have a slanted wall where the crease is wobbly and there's a saggy looking bit that's not strait that I need to smooth out. Then I have a bunch of cracks in the plaster that have been fixed but look like so one ever skim coated them to smooth the wall out. That's all in one room. I'm a first time home buyer and all if it seems daunting but your videos are helping a lot.
That drytex spagling is great I'll use it in my apartment building for minor things dents and nails and paint right over it. It's not a drywall product for fixing anything else
Videos are amazing and great quality! I would request video (if you havent already) of how to mud rounded corners. I have Spanish style rounded edges in my house and I suck at getting them to look right. Thanks again!
Thank you very much, I know guys who use spackle and I put a few drops of water in it, I personally don't like using it and if it sits to long when filling nail holes and small dings and dents it's basically like trying to sand a basketball even when pulling it tight and not leaving ridge's. Thank you very much for your professional advice.
I wished I would have seen your videos about 3 months ago. I done a drywall job and was very hard. It came out ok but I think it would have been better if I would have saw your videos. Got another job coming up soon so I will be watching your videos from now on.
You have helped me a lot I make all the novice mistakes you show us, I just bought some of that pink junk because it’s handy to carry around. I’m going to get a old air tight small container and fill it with all purpose, that would be better I think
I really appreciate what you're trying to teach us???? Most of us are guilty of one thing, we don't do it enough to get good at it, but watching you is like the old saying a picture is worth a thousand words!!! In the past I expressed my thoughts on spray texture in a can, it works, but can be a pain. So I found another type, that has a nice gun and has a pressure can that screws on the gun. Haven't use it yet and don't know if you have seen them yet, but might make a good video, the pro and cons of it. Just worked on a job painting the outside of a place and went inside to check the work that was done and OMG 😲 they had a massive beam put in and had the ceiling drywalled and every seam showed up and this is after shooting it. They added big windows and all the light showed every mistake, just like you were trying to show us in your video. Okay! Thank you, I had better stop now!!!
I buy the small size of that stuff, but only use it on nail holes in trim work and very small imperfections on drywall (picture hook holes, wall plug holes, etc). Sometimes i’m just too lazy to drag a bucket of mud out of the shop.
Sir, I owe you a steak dinner ! Replacing a bathroom mirror, and if course the drywall got pretty messed up due to the adhesive holding the mirror. Notice my comment below about this product. After finding your videos, it's amazing how "easy" it was to get right, using the proper products and techniques. Thank you again Sir !
@@ThatKiltedGuyDIY will be doing mostly patches but will eventually be doing all the ceilings which are popcorn at the moment. Will be putting up drywall to cover it. Then mudding & taping it all.
Yea that pink stuff is only good for maybe filling the tiniest hole. It’s way to thick and makes rolls as you try to work with it and it dries so fast. Great tips!
I was surprised to see how thick that Drydex was... I mentioned previously that one time I was about 150 miles from my shop with none of my tools and needed to repair some drapery rod related damage. The Drydex I bought at a big box store was very thin and shrank like crazy... I put on a lot of coats and still had a dimple where the screws went. Swore I'd never buy it again! In hindsight I would have been a lot happier, and would have completed the task a lot quicker, if I'd gotten some hot mud and a new knife and pan and thrown the stuff away when I was done!
